Taking on a Senior Leadership Role Remotely

Muriel Wilkins, cofounder of the executive coaching firm Paravis
Partners, says that starting a leadership role at a new company or
via internal promotion is demanding. Doing so remotely during the
Covid-19 pandemic is even more challenging. She says that new
senior leaders must focus on two things: connectivity and
credibility. And she explains how to build those attributes when
much of the job is performed virtually. Wilkins is the host of the
new HBR Presents podcast “Coaching Real Leaders.”
